The Whirlpool W11086537 is a genuine replacement dryer pump made for Whirlpool dryers, but it may also work with other manufacturers such as Roper, Maytag, and Kenmore. This crucial component is essential for the drying process. During a cycle, the dryer drum tumbles the garments while hot air flows to remove moisture. This moisture condenses into water, which must be pushed out of the machine. The W11086537 dryer pump effectively eliminates the collected water, preventing leaks and ensuring that your garments dry properly. A defective pump can cause a variety of problems, including longer drying periods, moist garments, and even leaks. Replacing a faulty pump with the W11086537 can restore your dryer's functionality and assure peak drying performance.
